Day 112/365 - I turned 23!

 

I haven't spent my birthday in Brunei for a good 4 years. So I am so glad to be able to do it here this time round. Year after year I've always hosted parties with different themes so this year was definitely a huge difference for me since I didn't have a party so there were no preparations done beforehand. Hehe 

Had birthday dinner with the fambam and that was nice. Just to have everyone around :) it's been a good while since we've been able to do that actually. 

Then Chloe (with whom I have not spent my birthdays with either) came round to mine after dins with a cake and my birthday present! Thanks love, really appreciated the visit! So blessed to have you as a friend :) 

Here's a picture of me: a fresh 23 year old. Here's to an exciting-dont-know-what-to-expect year!  Right now, I'm at the point in life where I'm just not sure bout lots of things. So fingers crossed for life. Hehe 

A big thank you to everyone who took their time to wish me- through text, and all other forms of social media. I really appreciate it. 

Lots of love,

Amelia xo

Day 111/365

Hello everyone!

Still not feeling any better, this throat is killing me and the sniffles just keep making my eyes water. Which really, isn't helping at all.

Anyway, seeing as how I haven't blogged properly in a while, I think I will need some time to get into this business again. Gimme some time! hehe.

I will need to sort out my pictures, and transfer them from my phones to the lappy, cam to the lappy and then hopefully I'll be able to blog properly!

OH YA. I don't think I've mentioned this on my blog officially yet, but remember how I blogged about the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 in ROSE GOLD a while back? Well, that post won me a phone! That's right, it won me a spanking brand new Samsung Galaxy Note 3 in ROSE GOLD. Whee. I was given this piece of news on April's Fools day as well, so I wasn't quite sure whether or not to believe it but it wasn't a joke at all!

Super blessed for this, I've been wanting a new phone for a while now so  getting this was great! Still using my iPhone5 tho, only because I still prefer the camera on the iPhone. The Samsung Note 3's camera is a little on the bad side tbh. Don't quite like it.

Thank you to everyone who helped me in this little quest! I succeeded (well, couldn't have done it without your help really) -- woohoo! hehe 

Overall, just so happy to have a new gadget to play with. :D

Spoke to B over Line chat today and it felt so surreal that he was just with me in person a little over 2 days ago! To see his face and not being able to touch it again is really quite unbearable. Oh well, the downsides of LDRs. Still thankful I got to see his face and hear his darling voice anyway!

Hope everyone had a great week.

Lots of love,
Amelia xo

Day 87/365

Finished watching MLFTS today! Ending was a little meh for me but I guess it was better than a bad ending. I love Hae Kyung! He's my fav. character. Such a gentleman can? Wahhhhhh. 

Also love the way Song Yi says Sorrehhhh. Haha! And the way she speaks to her car. So good. 

I also love her lip colours; as do the rest of the world. 

Anyway, went to Escape Room today thanks to ChurpChurp! Swan and I had BBQ Plaza before that so that was über nice! Been craving mookata for the longest time. 

We lost at Escape Room. Sob. But it was good fun. Hopefully will bring Jun over to try since it's something I am pretty sure he'll enjoy.  

Speaking of Jun, he's otw here now! Will be reaching Malaysia in approx. 16 hours. Whee :D 

Ahhh can't wait to see that boy again. I've missed him too much. 

Lots of love

Day 86/365

I'm Hello! Today, has been a great day :D

First off, started my day with a couple of episodes of My Love From The Stars. I'm up to episode 13 now! I think I'll finish it by tomorrow. Exciting. Hehehe 

Also, went by The Inc. at Scott Garden for a little pamper session as introduced by Swan! 

I'm a unicorn! Hahahaha 

Went for a cut, color and treatment sesh for my hair and I am now with a shorter do and a darker hair tone.  Got a two-tone color so, after a few washes, my highlights will start to show! Exciting. It was my first time dying my hair professionally too. Been doing it with box hair color for the longest time. ( since I was about 16 years old) 

Anyway, after 2.5 hours in the saloon I was crazy hunger and was super craving zhap fan! So off I went to my favourite 12号 mixed rice shop in Yulek! 

All this for RM4! So good too and totally hit the spot. 

Then I went home and watched more of the K-Drama. And then I got ready for dins! Woohoo 

We went to Coco Stramboat, the Old Klang Road branch ! I've had coco a few times already so I know I love it. I am glad everyone enjoyed it as well :) 

As you can see, I've been making good use of my fish eye lens.  LOL best purchase March 2014!!!!! 

Then we made our way to Chatime for a chat afterwards and for something sweet to fill our tummies. 

It was so much fun seeing everyone today! 

Ahhh... Today has been such a good day, I am majorly thankful. Also B told me he had checked in online already so OH MY DAYS only two more days till I see my love! HEHE 

Okay, one more episode of MLFTS, then off to bed I go! 

Lots of love,

Amelia xo

Day 84 & 85 /365

Didn't do much yesterday. Day #1 of unemployment.. Got a good lie in, in the morning and proceeded to obtain My Love from The Stars. The Korean drama that everyone is cray about ATM! Good reason why too. Finished 7 episodes yesterday and totally loved it! Jeon Ji Hyun is super pretty! I mean, I loved her in Windstruck and Daisy so I knew I was going to love her in this drama. Everyone who's watched the series finished has told me that it has a good ending so I am most definitely looking forward to the end of the series! Hehe 

I would put pictures up but I'm too darn lazy to transfer them ATM so I will post them up some day. 

One thing I am super stoked about today is I finally purchased my ollo clip replica! The fish lens and macro/wide lens for my iPhone! Mad happy. Only for RM36 as well which is great considering the originally costsa bout SGD75. So major big saving there and it works just as well. 

Also went for my last #Churpremiere as a Churpie today! Quite sad actually, I am going to miss handing out tickets to Churpers and making their day :( oh well, I'll hopefully attend other #Churpremieres as a Churpers myself! That would be a different experience. Hehe 

I've got a hair appointment tomorrow and I am super looking forward as I am going to try something that I have never tried before! Hehehe wish me luck. 

Lots of love,

Amelia xo

Day 83/365

Herro!

I don't quite know where to start but basically, today was my last day with work. I'm taking a short break for personal reasons and will hopefully resume job hunting soon enough! That said though, I'll be heading back to Brunei for a short bit too (short as in 5 weeks, I think -- have yet to buy my tickets so, we'll see!). I am actually hoping to take this time to really just relax and have some me time. Plus it'll be super nice to see Pepper, Scamp and Melody too! I miss my fur babies way too much.

Anyway, my experience with my last day of work was emotional to say the least. I am already quite the emotional person so imagine me parting with my desk and computer screen that I have so lovingly stared at for the past 6 months! Dang, it was tough. Was totes holding back tears while clearing my desk up.

I have such an unhealthy attachment to things, it's a little weird.

So, here are some pictures I took for the last time outside Heritage House/ in the office!

 

Here, we have my #FOTD. Taken at 7:20AM, bright and early in the office.
 

My lips are by MAC - Chatterbox. LOVE THAT COLOUR. I am so certain it could be the first lipstick I ever finish. Also, I got a hair appointment booked for Thursday, so defo looking forward to that!

 

Here are the girlies, Jen is a new addition to the office and she's very chirpy and blur which is a nice change :) Glad to have met you Jen! Everyone who reads my blog knows Su Wan and Rosanne by now I guess. Hehe

 

With the twin towers! I am only 156.5CM tall so #dontjudge. Haha On my right is Ka Wah, the guy who seriously had a lot of patience to teach me everything  I needed to know. Sorry I couldn't pass on all that information in my head to the new girl!  

 

(L-R) Eric (who btw, on his first day, I mistook him as a super tan chinese. I was half right though! Cause he is a Chindian. HEHE), Jen, Swan, myself, Rosy and KW! 

 

Part of the CC Team. Missing Charissa!  (L-R) Darren, myself, KW and Mijel. 

 

Sometimes I like my height cause it makes me look tiny. LOL 

It does feel a little odd knowing I am unemployed once again, but I think I need sometime to just really relax the crap out of my back and just chill the fuck out. It's nice that Jun will be here in 4 days! And I'll be seeing my momma in 5 days and my daddy in 7 days and soon we'll be reunited and chilling out as a fam! :D Thankful for all these opportunities and blessings in my life, always.

Also, I've been hitting the gym with D, C and occassionally J a couple times a week for the past month or so. I've apparently checked in for 5 weeks now! So that's what I've been doing. I have been enjoying it though and I am a wee worried about stopping the flow while Jun is here and while I am back in Brunei. Will need to find someone who can go with me cause I don't I'd have the motivation to go myself (or the strength tbh) haha! I mean, I am actually making progress y'know?! Hate to see it all go to waste (T_T)

So, if you know anyone who'd like to go to the gym with me whilst in Brunei and is patient and knows what he/she's doing, lemme know! I need to make new friends/ I don't know many people in Brunei. Which I know, is kinda off considering I lived all my life there. But I guess that's just the way it is. I suppose, I am quite an introvert. But try to come out of my shell a little. ZZZ 

Wow, it's midnight already! Hope everyone has a great week! I'm going to be unwinding myself for a bit before the LOML arrives 4PM Saturday! whoooopeeee

Lots of love,
Amelia xo

Day 82/365

Wow. Like that the weekend had just past. The next weekend (the one coming up) is going to be super exciting and filled with lots of new memories. So defo looking forward to that! 

Rosanne brought me to Yeast this morning to eat and it was such a lovely quaint place with super delicious croissants. To be fair, all their bread looked super delish so I must go back and try out their other dishes. It's a French café so their dishes were all very French. (Lol wtf Amelia) 

My ham and cheese croissant which was super super delish. Like this picture doesn't do it any justice! 

Here's some pictures from an event last night. Nuffnang turns 7 this years so there was a celebration! 

Didn't manage to take too many pictures. It was horrendously hot too. Didn't stop sweating at all. But the food was nice, all them garlic rice! Hehe 

Anyway, I'm soooo super tired for some reason. I am just going to pop into my deep slumber and hopefully get some nasi lemak tomorrow for breakfast! *hopeful* HEHEHEHE 

Lots of love 

Amelia xo

Day 81/365

Got a bunch of things to say today. But I am way too tired so I'll recap tomorrow! 

Hope everyone had a good Saturday. Mine was decent. Haha 

Lots of love 

Amelia xo 

P/s Jun will be here in a week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Day 80/365

Hello wello! Today I unlocked an achievement. Getting stuck in the jam otw home from work for a total of 3.5 hours! Jam-free, the journey would've only taken me max 45 minutes. 

What a pain in the arse. 

My phone battery also died on me halfway through. So, had to find other means of entertaining myself while being stuck in the jam. 

1) singing out loud and rocking to every song that comes on. This includes Taylor Swift, Boyz2Men, Usher and random Chinese songs. 

2) listened and tried to sing to the whole of Lorde's album 3 times. It's not an easy task but someone's got to try it! Lol half the time I don't really know what's she singing about and I've been listening to her album on repeat for nearly 3 weeks now. 

3) curse every living thing that tries to cut into my lane and then proceed to drive really closely to them. 

4) avoid buses and taxis at all cost. 

Pretty much. Oh, and wondering when on earth am I ever going to reach home. Haha. I am very much a drama queen, so please excuse that. Haha! 

Got home and being stuck in the jam really just squeezes every last drop of sanity from you that I felt so darn tired. Even skipped dinner cause of how tired I was and now I am regretting that decision and most likely will be grabbing some cereal for dins. 

Yes, cereal for dins. At 10:30PM. 

I like breakfast food very much. Thank you. 

Here's a picture of Scamp and Pepper chilling out together. Lol 

I'll be seeing them in a month! 

Lots of love

Day 79/365

Been obsessed playing this game called "flutter". It's basically a butterfly farm game where you harvest pollens and have different species of butterflies and stuff. It's über fun! Hehe it's something to pass time with. So I'm glad for it. Thanks to Justin for introducing. I totes enjoy these kind of games. 

One more day to the weekend! Can't wait for this week to be over. Been on an emotional rollecoaster this week and it is so darn tiring!  

I seem to do this to myself tho. Thinking too much and so much self hate. Too much self hate to be completely honest. Gah. 

Apart from that, life has been alright. I week tomorrow and Jun gets on that airplane to me! So exciting just thinking about it. 

Anyway, I've had a tiring day so please excuse me as I head to sleep early tonight. 

Lots of love 

Amelia xo 

Day 78/365

Hello! 

Today has been a pretty tiring day for myself. 

Finally got my appointment for the hospital regarding my back. I was told my appointment was at 9am so we went at 8 just to be safe. Oh boy. Were we in for a treat! 

Basically, a whole load of people are given 9am appointments as well so it doesn't really matter what time you get, be preparers to wait for a couple of hours! 

In my case, I waited for 6.5 hours before finally getting my turn. And then my appointment with the doctor took a further half an hour and waited for another 20 mins for further instructions. 

That's 7.5 hours ish already. Then we had to Hunt down different departments to secure further appts and then head back to my doctor to let her know. So that I could secure my second appointment with her again. 

Wtf. 

Then after that, I had to look for a couple more departments including the pharmacy whereby I got my month's long medication. Woohoo. 

All in all, it was a full day's of work. It was so freaking exhausting I felt like every little molecule of energy in me was used up :( plus, I didn't have anything to eat the entire time I was there either so that probably contributed to my lethargic state. 

I am already not looking forward to my next visit in two months time. Seriously. 

What an experience. I guess that's what government hospitals are like.. Even half government ones. Registration fee was already a whopping RM50! Wtf. 

I wish I had funds for a private hospital -- please ignore my whines. 

On a much brighter note, I got to see my love while he had his breakfast. It's been a while since I've seen him in UK daylight. I've missed his I've-just-woken-up face too much. 10 more days till I'm driving down to pick him up from KLIA! Whee 

Lots of love

Day 77/365

Went to catch the #Churpremiere of Mr. Peabody and Sherman today thanks to ChurpChurp! Really enjoyed the film Although, the little girl was a little toooooo bitchy for my liking. Like really, how in earth is it even ok that she's such a bitch? Dafuq. Cannot brain. 

Overall I enjoyed it though, very touching and had a good few funny moment in it. I also really liked how the animation was done! And I like Mr Peabody :) 

My #OOTD today: 

Sweater from H&M

Skirt from Topshop 

Sneakers from Converse 

I don't usually wear sneakers but I honestly couldn't think of what shoe I could pull off with this look! 

Anyway, I am off to sleep now. My eyes are so darn tired I actually cannot even. 

Lots of love 

Amelia xo

Day 76/365

 12 more days countdown till Jun reaches KL! *hyperventilates* 

Will keep it short and simple today since I've not done much except work today. But, it's been a good day nonetheless. 

I always feel blessed when I look at the people I have around me and my faith in humanity gets restored.  

There are mean people, but those people don't have a place in my life for a reason. Remember that well Amelia, don't waste too much time thinking about them. 

Hope everyone had a good start to the week! It can only get better from here on :D 

Lots of love

Amelia 

Day 75/365

OH HAI!
Totally didn't get to blog about Friday and Saturday so here I am to cover my entire weekend.

I would like to say I've had one heck of a weekend. I would say, it has probably been the most happening weekend of 2014 so far! Or even, in Malaysia this 6 months!

Friday - Day 73/365

Started off the day normally, headed to work normally.

Then, I agreed to head to FMFA day 2 with Su Wan! :D Super impromptu decision, went back during lunchtime to pack and I totes forgot my contact lenses so I had to wear my glasses! Was definitely a little conscious cause I've not worn glasses to any events before :( But it turned out alright.

MY FIRST RAVE EVER. And it was SO good! We managed to get there in time for Armin Van Buuren and Paul Van Dyk and man, I had so much fun. I am glad I took the opportunity to head over. I am pretty lucky to be able to get work passes, since I am meant to work as well! But it was all good! I remember coming back around 3 in the morning and I HAD to give Jun a call because i was just so excited and exhilarated from the experience that I needed to let him know. Hahaha #overexcitedgf

I was pretty much in awe the entire time I was there. Like, I didn't really have much expectations because I didn't know what to expect really but it all really blew me away! :D Already looking forward to the next one! :D

Told Jun and Diana that we NEED to go to one of these together. I can imagine it being uber fun with these two!!! *fingers crossed for the future*

The laser lights were so pretty!

Saturday - Day 74/365

TWO MORE WEEKS TILL THE LOVE OF MY LIFE IS HERE!

Started off my day a little later than usual, around 11 am and joined my aunty for Zhap fan! It was so good and i was absolutely starving. We usually head over to this mixed rice place at Yulek and they have like SO MANY DISHES? I love zhap fan. Cheap and good.

I sent this picture to my dad and he replied," So much"

I don't quite know what that means. LOL

 

 After which we headed to tescos and  I brought my car for a wash which was pretty useless since it started raining right after. There goes 15 buckz. I don't even know why I bother. HAHA

Anyway, after tesco's, headed back home and got ready for FMFA day 3! And was really excited for it. Made my way to Su Wan's and you know, this time I was like super ready with them short shorts and super light top. 

Guess what. 

FMFA Day 3 got cancelled. 

Cancelled. At about 5pm. We found out while we were all eating rotis. 

It was so disappointing! I think if people want to do drugs, they should do it responsibly! Don't need to overdose until die kua. Damn kua zhang pls. 

ANYWAY. 

Gillian actually brought along a gopro and we didn't even get to use it! Weh

So, we headed for a K-session for a good two hours before heading for some drinks.

w00h00 drinks! to be honest, I think it's been too long since I've had anything other than beer. Tequila and Jagers were super appreciated! :D

Also, had an AMAZING time out with these bunch of people. Thanks to Su Wan for introducing me to them! I think we've all set a date to go out again in two weeks. So will keep y'all updated about our adventures. LOL

The night ended super interesting since I found myself in Su wan's bed the next morning. LOL

Yep. *grins*

TODAY! 

 Upon waking up in an unfamiliar room, hahahahahah (THIS IS THE FIRST TIME IT HAS EVER HAPPENED I PROMISE!) Big thanks to Swan for being so lovely about it! haha *big love*

Had a brunch date with Fiona and CS! Decided to try Feeka since I've been hearing and reading good reviews about the place.

I WAS SO DISAPPOINTED. Service was SO SHIT. I waited about 45 minutes for my plate of food, which btw was small in portion and costed RM20. Did not enjoy it at all and I felt super bad because I had suggested we go there in the first place and ahhhh. We couldve gone somewhere better. F & CS also waited FOREVER for their food, and our waited was just super unapologetic about the lateness of it all. and URGH.

Never going back to Feeka again. Lousy place.

Being super unsatisfied about it, we headed to VCR for cakes and coffee after our brunch.

That was a lot better and we were earlier than most people so it wasn't too crowded.

We ordered a lemon curd cheesecake and a black velvet cake to share courtesy of CS (thanks! :D) It was nice. Although, I ordered a hot chocolate, and that wasn't very nice. Will stick to their coffees next time. I just though with the hangover I was having it wouldn't have been wise to have coffee.

 Upon reaching home, I basically showered and KO-ed in my bed. Till about 8pm where I woke up, had dinner, and showered again and typed this out and I can feel my mind slowly dying off again.

 I AM SO TIRED and this weekend has been SO GOOD. I am SO THANKFUL for good times.

Looking forward to next week already although I have a feeling I'm going to be super tired as well. HMm

Lots of love,
Amelia xox

Day 71/365

"But what can I say,

About something that blows me away..

Without it soundin' like another cliché?

From what I've seen and I've heard,

When it comes to you, baby, no, there are no, there are no words."

The Script - There are no words. 

I've been going cray with The Script in my car these past couple of days. Belting it super loud while driving to and fro from work. SO GOOD.  

Then it always takes me back to a year ago when I caught them live with Jun and Diana. #GoodTimes. Miss my BFFS like mad. At least one of them will be with me soon and I'll see the other in 6 months! ☺️

Today has been a hella tiring day but I am glad anyway. Enjoyed the day today albeit was a little stressed out at times. I think I should wear more bright lippies. It always makes me feel better about the day. Something bout them bright lips :) 

Here's my #FOTD:

On my lips I have M.A.C's Candy YumYum! I bought it a while ago but only just rediscovered it in my drawer completely untouched. So I thought why the hell not. Did not regret it one bit! I am glad they decided to make it again! It wS discontinued for a bit and MAC had this whole thing where they let the public vote for their favourite discontinued lippie and the one that won would make a comeback! Candy YumYum won last year so I am glad it did :) 

Here's my #OOTD courtesy of the big mirror in the office: 

I had a really bad hair day today but my fringe was alright so meh. Hahahha 

Also, didn't sweat too much today so that was ace! 

Off to bed now. Will be having a tiring next couple of days :) 

Lots of love, 

Amelia xoi

Day 70/365

Can I please just share with y'all some pictures we took at the office today: 

So glad to have met these girls :) 

Also, guess what I got to eat today!!! 

Snowflake I love you. 

Good night guys! 

Lots of love
